The news page here on CollectorsEdition.org hasn’t seen much action in a while, but I received a phone call from one of the first industry contacts I made through this site. He was reminded of, and wanted to tell me, a little story that I’m sure most collectors will find interesting. You see Dave used to work for Scanavo; the company that manufactures SteelBooks; he recalled a story about when they were working on the first SteelBook to be released for the Wii: Cursed Mountain Limited Edition.

The DRAGON QUEST HEROES: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below SLIME COLLECTOR’S EDITION (must be one of the longest names for a CE ever) features a glut of goopy goodies for the Slime enthusiast! The collection, enclosed in a Premium Treasure Box Package, includes a Slime plush, Slime lanyard, Slime keychain, and nine exclusive in-game Slime weapons for the legendary DRAGON QUEST heroes, in addition to two playable bonus maps.

Available to pre-order at the square-enix store for $99, game releases on October 13th 2015.

It is a good year for Naughty Dog and art fans. Celebrating Naughty Dogs 30 year anniversary, art gallery Cook & Becker presents a collection of limited-edition fine art prints based on the concept art & the visual design of the Uncharted Trilogy.

We could already admire uncharted concept art in the just released Naughty Dog artbook, but now we can also hang some of the amazing concept art on our walls. Here are just a few examples of the artworks.

The prints are museum-grade Certified Art Giclees™ and are meant to showcase the visual design of the Uncharted franchise in the best possible quality. All prints have been extensively proofed by the artists at Naughty Dog and Cook & Becker’s master printer to get as close to the digital source as possible. All prints are hand-numbered, embossed with the Naughty Dog logo and have a digital signature. Some prints are also hand-signed via label and certificate by the artist aswell. Not all prints could be signed by the artists as some artists are not with Naughty Dog anymore.

Good news for art-collectors and The Last of Us fans. After the amazing artbook that most fans undoubtedly have in their bookshelf, now is the chance to have this amazing art hanging on your wall!

After all of the opinions, the delays and the drama surrounding the Ouya I finally received mine, rather than just do an unboxing or a review I thought I would keep a Journal of my experiences with this little console. So consider this an extended, multi-part review where I’ll dig into everything about the Ouya “experience” starting with the kickstarter, continuing with the unboxing and today, ending with the actual gaming experience. These are “Days 2-6″ Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve never played any of the Dead Space games, though I own all 3. Not that I don’t plan to play them (eventually) but one of the hazards of being a collector is that you buy far more games than you have time to play. What I do know about Dead Space is that the first game received what is perhaps the most iconic and and one of the most sought-after editions of this generation, the “Ultra Limited Edition“. Low production numbers tend to be the best trait any collector could ask for and with only 1000 made the Ultra Limited Edition could have been nothing more than a regular game case with alternative art and made collectors still crave it. Thankfully it was not only rare but a really well put-together package, not what I would consider to be the best edition, but it would still be one of the better editions even if it wasn’t so limited.

Due to the desirability of the Ultra Limited Edition the Collector’s Edition for Dead Space 2 was considered somewhat of a let-down. Over production make them not much more valuable than the standard edition and the included bonus item (a replica plasma cutter) was actually a scale model and not the full-sized replica people were hoping for. It seems for Dead Space 3 EA is hoping to rectify this with the Dev Team Edition, limited to 5000 units across all platforms and all bundled up in what is arguably one of the highest quality packages for an edition this generation, we’ll see if the Dev Team Edition can live up to the legacy that is the Ultra Limited Edition.

The Art of Dead Space 3 Clamshell Collector’s Edition is limited to a single print run of 1,000 copies. This exclusive edition contains an additional 32-page gallery of exclusive and previously unpublished art from across the game series, including images from Christopher Shy’s Dead Space graphic novels, plus a gallery foreword from Dead Space 3 Creative Director, Ben Wanat. Also includes a free marker pendant while supplies last.

Just in time for the upcoming 3rd person horror-shooter Dead Space 3, Visceral Games and Publisher Electronic Arts present the Dead Space 3 Dev-Team Edition. The Edition is limited to only 5000 units and is available for PC, Ps3 or Xbox 360. The Edition can be purchased on two ways either with the game for steep $160 USD or without the game for $100 USD.

The Dead Space 3 Dev-Team Edition comes in a fancy 13″ SCAF Tin Crate and includes the following:

8″ Ployresin Black Marker Statue

Aluminum Data Pad

Med Pack Water Bottle

Bound SCAF Jotter

3 SCAF Posters

6 Peng Postcards

96 Page Mini Art Book

The game includes the following DLC:

DLC: First Contact bundle (includes the First Contact Suit and Negotiator weapon for precise dismemberment)
